Elegant words said before meal, not needing any more before the end (8)
I believe the answer is:
graceful
'elegant' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for graceful that I've seen before include "Showing elegance of manner or movement" , "Elegant and moving easily" , "Fluid" , "Elegant in movement or manner" , "Elegant, moving beautifully" .)
